The Maine Health Information Network Technology (MHINT) project is a statewide system being designed to:

  1. Improve patient safety and the quality of clinical care by providing clinicians with timely, accurate and secure patient-specific information at point-of-care;
  2. Create a virtual electronic health record of critical information accessible to all participating clinicians and consumers; and,
  3. Assure that clinicians caring for patients who may not have a single-source medical record, e.g. uninsured or underinsured patients who may not have a primary care provider, will have access to clinical information necessary for appropriate treatment planning.

This highly coordinated, statewide electronic clinical information-sharing system is being developed so that it can be fully integrated with efforts by individual providers and hospitals in Maine to develop electronic medical records (EMRs).
